Congratulations to Channchi Chau, Jenhi Garcia, Melissa Jullig, Dixon Li, Jeff Nagata, and Aria Pakatchi for winning 3rd place in the Big Ideas Competition for Social Justice! They received $4500 in grant money in care of Project Pueblo! Great work!!! There is still a chance too that they might win some more money - let's pray and hope they do!

This grant money will be used to fund a housing project for a family in need within the Bennett Freeze area of the Navajo reservation. Here is a piece of what the congratulatory email read:
